Chapter 622 Homeless

As the fighting sounds in Western Europe slowly subsided, Frederick was preparing to evacuate Priven. The hard battle for more than four months was not a tactical contest, but he pondered hard about offense and defense every day; it was not a battle of willpower, but the people who could still stand here were as strong as rocks; it was not a battle of strength, but the wealth consumed here could not be measured. If this was a battle of life, no one would refute that more than 200,000 people on both sides had lost their lives here, and dozens of miles had been soaked in blood.

The mountains are not far from the east of Priven, and the southern Carpathians are a rare plain in Bulgaria, with lush water and grass, fertile land. Since the arrival of this fortress last year, Frederick began to expand and strengthen, intending to defend this rare territory. However, since the war began, the territory is no longer waiting for, but belief.

In the night, the fortress seemed particularly large and terrifying, but Frederick felt that every dark castle and every section of the city wall was particularly friendly. More than 100,000 Bulgars built this fortress with their hands, more than 20,000 Austrians guarded the fortress with their blood, more than 80,000 Bulgar, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia, Wallachia, Transylvania, Moravia, Croatia, and Italians were buried in the surrounding area. It was really difficult to give up. But he had to do so. The Ottomans were like gamblers with red eyes, still investing wildly and successfully opened a dangerous gap near the Balkans in the southwest of the fortress.

It was already midnight, and the faint moonlight soothed the painful land. Next to the suspension bridge on the west side of the fortress, watching the last group of soldiers leave silently, Frederick was still watching the black fortress being tragic. Baron Statz understood his mood and stayed quietly for a while. Until the west became silent, he whispered: "Duke, it's time for us to leave. The troops in the two wings' barrier areas have been evacuated, and the Ottomans will soon find it."

"Yes, it's time to leave." Frederick finally reacted for a long time. He turned his horse and walked west for a while. He asked, "Is there any news in Stuttgart these days? When will the Yellow Beard take over?"

Shaking his head, Baron Staz added: "Duke, the Duke of Croatia has deployed the defense of Southern Carpathians, and the Earl of Hungary is also ready to start the war in Konstanz. The Yellow Beard is coming, and it may also start from Greece."

The Baron's words just led to the topic. Without waiting for Frederick to respond, he said: "Duke, you have been fighting for too long. It's time to go back to Vienna to have a good rest. The yellow beard will come soon."

Yes, it's time to rest, but is it back to Vienna? When thoughts were drawn to Vienna, Frederick had no warmth or longing, but was full of bitterness. Everything that had been forgotten by the battle slowly emerged. After a long time, he looked back at the already vague fortress, and suddenly he felt that it was his home.

Liu Meng's feelings were similar to Frederick. And as the Baron said, he had begun to consider the Bulgar War.

When Hannah came to the conclusion from Joseph's vague words, Liu Meng was in Frankfurt on the Main River. And unlike Hannah's guess, he didn't stay in his so-called hometown Marlborough for long.

It may be that he experienced too much killing, and the occasional reflection, or the feeling of looking at the mountains made him change his perspective, and it may be that it was the influence of some people. He himself couldn't explain it clearly, but he did lack a bit of paranoidness, or in other words, he began to consider groups that did not conform to his own view of right and wrong, although this consideration still seemed cruel.

In any case, the long-departed land in the northwest of the empire returned and began to integrate into the system he established, and he believed that this cruelty was necessary. This cruelty began with a lonely merchant ship set out from Antwerp and headed to Morocco. The merchant ship was purchased by him and renamed the Mayflower. As for whether this ship could create legends, it was not within his consideration.

As a city developed by trade, Frankfurt quickly recovered from the pain not long ago and rejuvenated in the new imperial system, which made Liu Meng, who hurried into the city, feel somewhat relieved. Stephen was only with him and was wearing a cloak, and the two were not eye-catching. The Merditch trading company of the destination Medici family was obviously easy to inquire.

The shopkeeper led it to the elegant and quiet backyard. As soon as he entered the small building, Liu Meng was stunned. The person sitting in the living room was not Elenona, but Dajiena.

"What, is it strange? Or, if you knew that I sent a friend to invite me, you wouldn't come?" Dajeona looked a little haggard, but her graceful demeanor had not changed at all, and her warm tone made Liu Meng's heart tremble in a warm and warm manner.

Knowing that he was worried that he would think too much about the French incident, Liu Meng didn't dare to hesitate. He quickly went over and sat down. He looked at him carefully for a while, and Dajangna took his hand and rubbed it gently for a while, and said tremblingly: "You have lost weight again."

Just like this, Liu Mang's loneliness that had accumulated in his heart suddenly turned into a different feeling. He didn't know what to say, so he pulled Dajang No. , hugged him tightly, and only the faint sweetness lingered in his heart. After a long time, he muttered: "Why don't you go to Marburg?"

"I was dealing with matters related to the east in Stuttgart, and a friend mentioned it by chance, saying that he seemed to see you leaving Cologne, like going to Marlborough. You probably haven't been back for many years, so you should have gathered with your retainers, so I'll come here."

Liu Mang did have a good time in Rotal Mountain, but he was worried about the war in the east, so he could only give up the idea of ​​a good rest. He was going to return to Stuttgart, but he met the Medici guy on the way, and then came. From the guy's attitude, it can be seen that Dajeana and Elenona have a relatively close relationship recently. He could not pay attention to this silently running woman, but he felt comforted.

However, Dajeana mentioned the east side and aroused his concern again. It might be that she subconsciously ignored the topics related to France and said casually: "Is that right? Well, you know, I haven't been able to pay attention to Bulgar for a long time. What's the situation there now?"

Dajeana was not very worried about it and said casually: "It's basically nothing. Before I left Croatia, the Duke of Austria was preparing to abandon the Fortress of Plivan and retreat to the southern Carpathians."

"Have you evacuated yet?" Liu Meng asked in surprise.

Seeing that he was obviously not concerned about Frederick's efforts, Dajena shook her head and explained: "You are not there and you may not understand the situation. Hungaryti highly praised the Austrian Duke's decision to defend Priven. He said that the Duke was equivalent to inserting a nail on the Ottoman offensive route. As long as it is not pulled out, the Ottoman attacks from any direction, which is the best way to consume the Ottoman offensive momentum with the minimum force."

After thinking for a long time, Liu Meng blushed and had a fever. Indeed, he could not be on the battlefield, and any consideration was empty. Frederick's move to defend Puliven seemed to be defensive, but as far as the Ottomans were concerned, he had a strong offensiveness and had to face it. Correspondingly, this move not only restricted the Ottomans' attack route, but also gained strategic buffers for Wallachia, Serbia and Hungary. Besides, they used their blood to give themselves precious time to resolve the imperial crisis. Such a rash guess is indeed unreasonable.

Dajeana saw the hardships of Austria and Eastern European countries with his own eyes. Although he felt his ashamed, he did not let it go and continued: "Now the Ottoman military recruitment ability has reached its limit. It is urgent to break the deadlock. It is not wise for Priven to persist. After everyone's discussion, the Duke of Austria decided to evacuate and temporarily release the pressure accumulated by the Ottomans. It is almost winter and they will not be rampant for long. However, this retreat is not easy..."

Seeing that he began to worry again, Dajeana comforted again: "You don't have to be impatient. Hungary has mobilized troops from all over the west to support, and the retreat will proceed safely. You have just finished the battle and should go back to Stuttgart for a while."

Liu Meng never thought about going back to Stuttgart. He had already felt that with Hannah's efforts, the imperial structure was becoming more and more perfect, and he was moving forward steadily, with almost nothing needed, and the next affairs had exceeded his ability. He felt both disappointed and a relief, and perhaps the most appropriate choice was to leave silently.

Although he didn't understand his thoughts, Dajeona felt his mood change, gently hugged his waist, and whispered: "I heard you had a quarrel with Hannah. You're going to blame. She is a strong and capable wife, but she is also a little girl who needs to be pampered. You can't just consider your relationship from the perspective of the empire..."

Liu Meng also felt that he had some problems, but he had many conflicts and controversies. He didn't know what to do for a moment. However, Dajeona stopped talking, got up and pulled him out and walked out. He got into the carriage in a daze and asked several times, Dajeona blocked him with a kiss. When his sweetness was stirred up, he was eager to ask for it, but Dajeona wanted to give it back, which made him unable to get up or down.

I don't know how long it took to leave, but when the sky was dim, he realized that he had arrived in Mainz.

He was pushed to the door of the small room he had lived in before, and then he guessed DaJian's intention. Obviously, she had communicated with Hanna. She turned around and looked at her leaving back, and she didn't know what it felt like.

After standing for a long time, he still gently pushed open the door. Hannah was indeed sitting on the bed with her head down, not looking up for a long time, looking pitiful. He hesitated and walked over to sit down, but his mind was blank. Without waiting for a long time to react, Hannah finally couldn't help but get up and leave. He was not stupid enough, so she hurriedly chased her and hugged her.

After a stalemate for a long time, Hannah's tense body slowly eased. She turned around and shrank into his arms, and cried and said, "Do you have to forgive me in this way?"

Liu Meng didn't dare to think too much, so he lowered his head and kissed her lips. He didn't know his feelings for this strange wife, and he also felt that it was inappropriate, but he understood that the two of them would never have such a chance again. When Hannah began to respond blankly, she gently picked her up and walked towards the bedside.

But Luo Shan was half-exposed. He had just tasted a little sweetness, but Hannah gently pushed him away, looked at him firmly for a while, and said inexplicably: "I hope you know my name."

Without wondering, Hannah then said: "My full name is: Maria, Augusta, Nepomukena, Antonia, Francesca, Qusavilla, Aloisia."...
